Cheesy Taco Bake - An easy casserole perfect for busy weeknights | theblondcook.com

This was the result of another one of those days organizing the cabinets in my kitchen.  I had this half-bag of tortilla chips that were crumbled so badly I couldn’t do much with them.

And Mexican-style corn.

There was also ground beef that needed to be cooked… so I threw together what I thought would be good in a baked taco casserole.

The ingredients are so simple, yet taste so good together!  Crushed tortilla chips, ground beef with onions and taco seasoning, refried beans, Mexican-style corn and sharp cheddar cheese.

Bake it and top it off with your favorite taco toppings.  My favorite toppings are lettuce, tomatoes, sliced black olives, sour cream and cilantro.

I also added lots of taco sauce to my bowl… salsa would be great as well!

This casserole seriously comes together pretty quick.  Once the ground beef is cooked and it’s assembled in a casserole dish, it only takes about 15 minutes to heat.
